Iman’s art delves into the complexities of human existence, unraveling desires, fears, and the essence of being. He portrays individuals not solely based on their outward appearance but rather as reflections resonating within him. Departing from a linear narrative of events, he shapes characters and narrates their stories in a state of uncertainty. For Iman, this uncertainty and complexity symbolise the challenges humans often face, unfolding simultaneously in life.

This exhibition is a journey through Iman Irannejad’s emergence as an artist in 2023. It showcases paintings created during his time in Sydney and a three-month period in Berlin, where he participated in an artist residency at Takt Berlin and attended the Berlin Art Institute Studio Programs. The progression of his work reveals a cohesive exploration thread. Initially, he focused on dominant figures and employed more realistic techniques. Subsequently, he transitioned to experimenting with expressive techniques while exploring similar concepts, maintaining a consistent perspective throughout his body of work.

In essence, Iman’s artwork explores life, human experiences, and, fundamentally, his personal journey and connections with others. He communicates these diverse states of being through various mediums and techniques, unveiling the authentic emotions concealed beneath the surface.

MEET THE ARTIST TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY AT 6PM

FLOOR TALK SATURDAY 18 FEB 3-5PM

Franc Hancock Sydney World Pride
My large scale Ink Works on Paper are created outdoors on the ground and utilise wind and water in their creation. I use Sumi Ink which is an ancient Asian medium made from lamp soot. The paper is immersed in water and areas are lifted free to apply the ink. The images created partially mirror the ground beneath so the works become a documentation of place as well as time. The works are created from multiple layers of ink and there can be up to fifty layers of ink in areas. Despite the highly decorative surface I produce I am a minimalist choosing to remove my ‘hand’ from the creation. I do not directly touch the paper relying on wind to deposit the ink. Sumi Ink has inherent abilities and each work aims to display the dynamics of the ink rather than my hand.
Until my 50’s I worked in horticulture and landscaping. Health issues lead me to a career change and I went through the TAFE system to achieve my Fine Arts Diploma in 2009. Since then I have exhibited in the Regional Gallery circuit in NSW.
